Torchlight 2 Builds for Elite Hardcore - Update

Riff is now level 31 and going strong. This is my first foray into Act 2 in Elite Hardcore, so I'm taking it slow and cautious. As planned, I started adding 1 Strength, 1 Vitality, and 3 Focus per level after 20. As a result Riff deals a ton of fire damage thanks to Flame Hammer, Seismic Slam, and my greathammer which happens to deal roughly 50% of its attack as fire damage (unique drop from the Manticore boss in Act 2).

One thing to note about Act 2: floor traps are much more deadly than anything else you might encounter. Avoid them at all costs.

Kya is stagnant at level 19. I don't think she's gonna make it. In fact, I cannot recommend her build at all. If I try another Outlander, it will likely be a glaive-throwing focus build with high poison damage output and high damage resist equipment.
